Hey guys, its time to call on all of your expertise again i'm afriad.

Thing is my computer keeps turning itself off and its peeing me off so much so i thought F-it. I need a new PSU so why not fork out and get a new board, RAM, and CPU cooler.

so suggestions?

I need to keep it below £150 if possible - £100 be better but not sure what you can get for that.

I am a UK as well so the mighty egg can't help me.

Also seeing as i have the FX-62 i will try and get more out of it so OC friendly would be nice.


Thankyou

Was thinking of the following:

Motherboard= £37
PSU = £47
RAM = £30

Total = £114

anybody got any points to consider?

Gigabyte boards are pretty good boards. I've had 2 of them so far, both still work, never had a problem with any of them.

I would get a 770 or 790FX chip depending on your budget and since your looking at a 690V I would get a Biostar, Gigabyte, ECS, DFI, ABIT AMD770 chipset board.

but thank you for the ideas - although massively too expensive for me.

The PSU looks fine, and deffinately get the RAM - lifetime warranty + its on a limited time offer.
about the mobo - are you going for matx or do you want full size atx? if so, id surf on ebuyer some more - i got an ECS atx mobo at just under £30 and it hasnt skipped a beat. :cool:
